So, I was shopping for some worms at one of the Petco shops in the area and I took a look at the leopard geckos. One of the babies was starving and barely responsive, all of them housed on calcisand. I informed the reptile guy and the manager. When I got home, I decided to also contact...

Eww Eww EWW! I discovered a hitch-hiker on my terrarium plant I put in yesterday. A disgusting huge orange/brown roach!!! After an hour of rooting on the geckos to eat it (and letting Toothless have a shot at it) I took matters into my own hands and sliced it in half with a kitchen knife before...

Living in Albuquerque, I notice that the terrain looks very similar to the leopard gecko's natural desert habitat. Today I am going to research the climate and terrain of Rajputana, Pakistan and compare it to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The goal will be to set up a bioactive desert substrate and...

I thought she was normal when I first got her, but now I'm wondering if she might be a lavender stripe or something else... any thoughts?

I saved a phoenix worm from being nibbled on by a hungry cricket, then I turn around and see a barely alive cricket being eaten alive by two phoenix worms :shock: Has anyone had issues with feeders feeding on each other (other than cricket-on-cricket violence)?

The moist hide is really important. If you need room, move the rock out. A simple deli cup, sour cream container, or cottage cheese container can make an excellent moist hide. Just fill it with moss and wet the moss, drain any excess water and assuming the hole is just large enough for the gecko...

More pictures :) I got out my nice camera and Candy and I took some pictures. Anywho, thought I would share! More pictures! My husband took them with his fancier camera :P

I found an interesting article by a veterinarian about calcium absorption and deficiencies. Calcium Deficiencies: The ?Secret? to Avoid Them I'm doing research on calcium and vitamin D3 so if I find anything else interesting or insightful, I'll add it. If anyone else has anything informative...

Petsmart told me that Ghost was an "Albino" but all the albino pictures I see, the geckos have yellow bands. Is it possible for an albino to not have yellow bands? I would have thought if it was an actual morph, they would have thought to keep the name of it, but the guy helping me wasn't really...

How long should you wait to help a gecko with shed left on its feet or a piece left on the eyelid? I saw my gecko shedding but fell asleep leaving a piece on the eye and gloves on the feet. Worried about a possible eye infection, I misted the air above us for a little additional moisture in the...

Candy: She is a normal gecko with a great appetite, plump tail, and calm personality. She is content to nap all day and well into the late evening in her favorite cave. Mischief: She is a normal female, just a little bit younger than Candy. She is more inclined to explore and is rewarded with...

What are your thoughts on providing grit to aid in digestion of crickets? If you do provide grit, what does it consist of? What is safe grit that has very little risk of impaction? Currently I am using finely crushed chicken egg shells and was considering adding fine play sand, mixed in with the...

Hello. I grew up with a lot of different lizards when I was a kid, but now I have decided to have my own lizards. I originally started with a tokay gecko and received some really bad advice from a local pet shop that ultimately lead to the poor gecko being so stressed that it would not eat and...
